Peace Psychology of Grassroots Reconciliation: Lessons Learned from the “Baku Bae” Peace Movement

Hamdi Muluk, Ichsan Malik

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter is based on four years of effort in resolving the Maluku conflict, known as the worst intercommunal violence in Indonesia, which continued from early 1999 until 2003. This conflict took place in the eastern Indonesian island province known as Maluku (also called the Mollucas in English). In the first section of this chapter, we present an overview of the Maluku conflict: its history, causes, and the conflict resolution effort that had been undertaken. The second part describes in detail the Baku Bae Peace Movement: its stages and processes. In the final section we conclude this case study in light of the literature in peace psychology.
